Fiction Author Spotlight

Our Fiction Author Spotlight features new and upcoming fiction titles that don't fall into a specific genre category, like many of our other Author Spotlights do. You may or may not be familiar with some of these authors, but all have written stories that we hope will entertain you, inspire you and make you think. There’s fiction here for all kinds of tastes, so leave it up to us to lead the way!

Drawing from his own experiences in the turbulent '70s and '80s, hedge fund pioneer Jerrold Fine blends a heartfelt story of a young man fiercely intent on achieving independence with a fascinating insider’s look at the perks and pitfalls of a high-stakes life in the world of financial markets in his debut novel.

Rob Coates feels like he’s won the lottery of life. There is Anna, his incredible wife, their London town house and, most precious of all, Jack, their son, who makes every day an extraordinary adventure. But when a devastating illness befalls his family, Rob’s world begins to unravel. Suddenly finding himself alone, Rob seeks solace in photographing the skyscrapers and clifftops he and Jack used to visit. And just when it seems that all hope is lost, Rob embarks on the most unforgettable of journeys to find his way back to life, and forgiveness.
